.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm u3g
|
|
.Nd USB support for 3G datacards
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following lines in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device usb"
|
|
.Cd "device ucom"
|
|
.Cd "device u3g"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
u3g_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If neither of the above is done, the driver will automatically be loaded
|
|
by devd(8) when the device is connected.
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the multiple USB-to-serial interfaces exposed by
|
|
many 3G USB/PCCard modems.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The device is accessed through the
|
|
.Xr ucom 4
|
|
driver which makes it behave like a
|
|
.Xr tty 4 .
|
|
.Sh HARDWARE
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the following adapters:

.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
(See
|
|
.Pa /sys/dev/usb/serial/u3g.c
|
|
for the complete list of supported cards for each vendor
|
|
mentioned above.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The supported 3G cards provide the necessary modem port for ppp, or mpd
|
|
connections as well as extra ports (depending on the specific device) to
|
|
provide other functions (additional command port, diagnostic port, SIM toolkit
|
|
port).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In some of these devices a mass storage device supported by the
|
|
.Xr umass 4
|
|
driver is present which contains Windows and Mac OS X drivers.
|
|
The device starts up in disk mode (TruInstall, ZeroCD, etc.) and requires
|
|
additional commands to switch it to modem mode.
|
|
If your device is not switching automatically, please try to add quirks.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver appeared in
|
|
.Fx 7.2 ,
|
|
is based on the
|
|
.Xr uark 4
|
|
driver, and written by
|
|
.An Andrea Guzzo Aq Mt aguzzo@anywi.com
|
|
in September 2008.

The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver was written by
|
|
.An Andrea Guzzo Aq Mt aguzzo@anywi.com
|
|
and
|
|
.An Nick Hibma Aq Mt n_hibma@FreeBSD.org .
|
|
Hardware for testing was provided by AnyWi Technologies, Leiden, NL.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The automatic mode switch from disk mode to modem mode does not work unless
|
|
the driver is either built into the kernel or loaded before the device is
|
|
connected.
